[Lexie POV]
I was suddenly excited when something entered my mind. Right! There is a way for me to be with her more."Hmm. Can you stay home while I'm in the process of moving on?" I gasped as she was busy sipping her pasta.Is she going to disagree? Isn't moving on the process a good reason? When a person's heart hurts like this, isn't it often her close friend who sympathizes?I was nervous when Agatha didn't respond right away, but I was expecting inside."Are you sure?" was her only retaliation. Do I look unsure of what I'm saying? Why is that her assumption?"Of course, I'm sure. Don't you want to?"I want to evaporate from my seat, realizing I should not dare to invite her to my place to stay. Maybe that's what she's thinking too. It's not possible!"It's fine if you are preoccupied.""No! I'm okay with it. When do you want me to come over?" overjoy flowed as Agatha consented and did not give malice."Alright!" Unexpectedly I spit out with ecstasy.[Agatha POV]I can see how happy she is. For me, it will serve as torture. It's hard to hide my feelings every time I'm with her, and now we will live in the same house ?? Until when?? Until she moves on? Is it that painful that she'd broken up with Kayden??Why am I always in a problematic situation?? I can say no, but why can't I do it ?? what the heck !!I hate it !!It's hard to control emotion!It's more complicated than moving on.Should I be happy too because I can be with her or nervous because she might unleash my long-time hidden feelings towards her? Fuck!! Why am I in this freaking state? Argg!!Now I don't know what I'm more afraid of, Lexie finding out I'm a lesbian? Or that I secretly love her?Yes, I'm talking about that kind of Love...My chest heaved, and at the same time, I was excited. Also, in my own emotion, I am no longer in control.[Narrator]Two days passed, and Agatha did arrive at Lexie's unit."You are here!" Lexie greeted her at the door."Y-yeah! So I'm here!" Agatha's anxious response. She didn't know where to look for Lexie because her wearing lingerie.It's only now that she sees Lexie wearing sexy clothes. She almost ought the soil to swallow her. Moreover, they will be together under the same roof in the next few days.Lexie bent down to retrieve Agatha's other luggage. Agatha could see her white chest even more. Agatha's throat seemed to be dry, so she swallowed softly."Let's just share. I don't have a spare room. Don't worry. When I become famous, I will buy a condo with two bedrooms. For you and me.""It's fine. No need to worry much."[Agatha POV]Now we are going to sleep in one bed. This is ridiculous. It would be okay if only one day, it's tolerable, but now it will often be. Oh shit !! It looks like I always need to party.Every night, this will be the view before bed. Can I sleep with it? Can I update my novel? Can I think straight?This is a distraction that is hard to avoid. Why did I agree? Why didn't I make excuses? Or maybe I like it too ?? Do I really want to ??It's galling that I can't even control myself."What do you want for dinner? I'll cook." Lexie asked, which surprised me because she doesn't really cook. She hates cooking."Ah .. I'm sorry, but I'm leaving tonight.""Hmm. Is that so? How about tomorrow? What breakfast do you want?""Anything. I'm not picky about food best."Every time Lexie talks, I have to be alert to understand what she says because only her voice has gotten me distracted. It was as if I was deaf, and my chest was pounding even louder than she said.And by her look, I'm losing my sanity. Does she needs to wear this kind of clothes all the time??[Lexie POV]I offered to cook, but she's going out. We are already together, but Agatha will leave more often.What if I can just come along? But that is not possible because the paparazzi may see me. My career is not stable yet, so I need to be careful."Hmm, okay. Have fun later. Just update me."I'm disappointed, but I successfully hid it. What if I just forgive Kayden and give him what he wants?Ahhh!! This is suffocating..I saw Agatha take off her T-shirt. It was nothing when we were kids, but now something in me I should not feel. Ahh!! I averted my sight from her slender body.Why doesn't she change in the bathroom? Of course, there is no malice toward her because she thinks we are both straight and best friends. We used to change clothes in front of each other when we were kids.Doubts are starting to emerge. Is it correct that I invited Agatha to my place? It seems like I pick up a stone and hit my head big time. I just want to be with her. Is that too much to ask?? Oh, God![Agatha POV]I was already viscous in my clothes, and I thought of changing in the bathroom, but I hesitated. Lexie might wonder why I was not comfortable dressing in front of her. In contrast, we used to do it when we were still young."Did your shoot reschedule for tomorrow?" I broke into silence after changing clothes. The awkward feeling towards her was wild. How long can I last in this scenario?"Yeah. That would be tomorrow. Are you with me?" Lexie asked keenly. She even clung to my arm like a child. I felt her soft boobs on my skin which made me gulp.I need to get used to it, not to be noticeable, or my secret will reveal in no time.[Lexie POV]Electricity flowed through my body when I felt her arm barely touch my boobs. Am I the only one who feels this way? I shouldn't feel it because we're best friends, and I don't want to ruin it.[Narrator]Agatha went out that night not to meet her fuck buddy but to avoid temptation.If she stays at Lexie's house for a long time, she might rape her in no time and lose their friendship, even the girl.[Agatha POV]I inhaled as I gulped my drink. I wonder how I got into this situation? And how can I get away?Isn't she able to move on by herself and still need me by her side ?? Couldn't she reconsider what I might feel? But how? she doesn't know it either.Fuck !!"Bartender! Another one, please!" I groaned after I ran out of the drink.I lit a cigarette and smoked. Dozen of loads release out in my chest with each puff.Many women are fascinated by me, but why am I still obsessed with Lexie? She's straight and fuzzy than the ditch that she'll notice me.I have nothing against her boyfriends.[Lexie POV]I can't count how many rounds I've been in bed. Isn't she planning to go home yet? What time is it!Annoying! It looks like Agatha just brought her belongings, but she has no in
"Someone? But who?" I asked, checking if she was referring to a woman or a man. Perhaps she might remember she's kissing me."It doesn't matter, anyway. Can you come with me?" Now is the canceled shoot of Lexie, so even if I don't want to, I have no choice but to scrap my plans and go with her.After we had breakfast, we headed to the venue. As usual, Lexie's line will be the last one to take, so we have to wait for her turn.I left Lexie in the dressing room while having her make-up when I got bored. A man approached and spoke to me."Are you an artist here too? It seems like I just saw you now."Do I look an artist in his eyes? Is that a compliment?"No, I'm not. I just accompany my best friend. She's the actress." He smiled and then stared at me in a meaningful way. I ignored it and started to disappear, but He managed to grab my hand. "I'm Maison, and you are?" Now I started to perceive what he was up to, and I grinned in annoyance for touching my hand. "I'm not interested!" I s
[LEXIE LEWIS] When I left the room, Agatha was not there. For sure, she's mad at me, but it's annoying to see someone who almost raped you. What's even more painful is that you trust and love him. I sighed and then went to the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator and fetched cold water to drink. I won't bring Agatha on the set again. Maybe she and Maison's paths will cross again. I know that guy. He won't stop until he gets what he wants. I returned to the room to pick up my phone and call Agatha, but I was surprised when a woman answered it. That means she's not with her boyfriend. What time can she come home so I can cook dinner? If she comes home in the morning again, I won't cook anymore. It will only get spoiled and thrown into the trash. Since I could do nothing, I thought of tampering with my best friend's laptop. Our picture immediately popped up in front of me. I smiled there. I also noticed the draft of the novels Agatha writes. She is damn indeed talented. Plus point!
[LEXIE LEWIS] Even though I was hurt because of Agatha's sudden leave, I had to move on with life and do my job. It became my weapon to be effective in my acting skills. I cried as quickly as the director wanted because I thought of Agatha. I still don't know why she left. It is not a big deal to ask to be alone for a while. After the taping, I saw Maison again. My stomach turns every time I see his poker face. Even before he could see me, I immediately walked away, but it was too late. "Oh, look who is here. Where is your best friend? Is that your friend or your girlfriend?" I frowned at what he said. What does he mean? "I doubt you because you're the only woman who refused me. Maybe you want a woman too ..." This is a meaningful statement. What does he know? "Do you know you'll lose your career when they find out you're a lesbian? Tsk, you don't even have a career .." His tongue clicked, creating a sound. "Not all women are crazy about you, Maison. You are not the type of pe
[AGATHA NGUYEN] Because of my fight with Lexie, I couldn't develop an exemplary scenario in the novel I was composing. As I always do, I go to the bar to have some fun. Even though I look like a woman, have long hair, dress sexy, and have make-up, there are still women with a solid gay radar. Later on, I bumped into Freya. She offered me a drink, and I just let her until we came out of the bar to talk better. As time went on, I enjoyed chitchatting with her. Freya was different from the women I had met. She has a sense of humor, not just pure sexual admiration. I liked her, so I initiated the move this time. She has been in the top ten on my friends with benefits list. My lips landed on her, and at first, she refused. She said she doesn't give her sweet kiss to someone who isn't in a relationship. "I like you, Agatha, but we are different." A grinned flash on my face. Freya is licking her lips as she trailed her hands on my hips. "Let me bring you into a place where I can make
"Started to like me?? Since when? Now that you've learned I'm a lesbian?? Oh! Come on, Lexie.." I gaped, and my eyebrow met. Why? She thought I might play a game on her?? "Do you think I'm lying to you?" I got the guts to say. She responded to me with a smirk. It looks like she's not convinced, or perhaps not in me but herself. "What are you doing here, by the way?" She frowned as she asked. I can't believe that's what she's going to say. Don't we have to talk? Is that just the way it is? "Why? Why didn't you tell me ?? I'm your best friend .." "Because of that. That will be the effect on you. Now you feel like you like me, which is not. You have had many boyfriends, and I am almost always there whenever you are crushed. I saw how you love, and then now you are telling me this all shit.. that you started to like me ?? Damn, Lexie. You are confused .." I want to shout that what Agatha says is nonsense. She doesn't know anything about how I feel. SHIT !! "Don't take the lead in ho
[LEXIE LEWIS] The next day I woke up next to Agatha. The chance to stare closely at her became possible without worrying about what she might think when she suddenly got up. She has a freckled face when asleep. Her long eyelashes are captivating. Her nose is indeed pointed so her lips. Kissing her last night popped into my mind as I glared at those. I didn't notice this all before. We always sleep together. Meanwhile, I got stirred up when Agatha shifted. I went back to bed, pretending I was asleep. "I know you are awake, Lexie," Agatha said, shooting me a grinning face. I opened my eyes slowly, and then they fixed on her. This moment right now was the best in my life. My heart began to beat fast as if I had run. I could hear Agatha breathing which was like music in my ears. My mind was in the air; I couldn't think straight. "What do you want for breakfast?" A broad smile flashed on her cheeks. Her dimple becomes visible. My lips abruptly taste hers. "I'm not hungry yet. Can I
[AGATHA NGUYEN] I woke up before sunrise and immediately took a shower, put on my best clothes, and left. Before going to Lexie's condo, I stopped by a flower shop to buy her favorite flower, tulips with stuffed toys, and chocolates. I have never been like this to those who were part of my one-month of pleasure thing. I want to make her feel special. More than a friend, I want her to feel my love in any way possible. When I arrived, she was still asleep, wearing only her lingerie sleeping suit. I couldn't take my eyes off the glimpse of her sexy legs. My Adam's apple shifted as I swallowed before returning to the living room and going to the kitchen to cook her breakfast. When I opened her fridge, I saw nothing but eggs. What kind of actress is this? I went out of her condo again to go shopping. I was quick and got back right away. I immediately washed the meat and what would add to it. I need to finish cooking before Lexie wakes up. Because I was in a hurry, I couldn't keep up wi
"Yuri! In all people, why Agatha? You let her bring me home?" Lexie could not afford it and seemed to lose her patience. "And who do you think I would call? Besides, you are safe with her. Even if people catch you together, it won't be a problem. As you know, they would probably be elated to see you guys hang out." Lexie, even more, became vexed. "Oh! God, Yuri. The hell!" Grumbling, Lexie lifted her head out of trouble, touching her temple, not knowing if it ached due to a hangover or if Agatha was the reason. "I know, but I had no choice. My mom was rushed to the hospital last night." "What? How was she now? Gosh. I'm so sorry to hear that, Yuri. I didn't know, but please, next time, it could be anyone but not Agatha." "She's recovering. How about you? Are you alright? Don't you remember anything at all? Damn girl. You had the guts to confess your feelings to her with all ears and eyes wide open." "What? What are you talking about?!" Lexie got confused, meeting Yuri's eyes. "
I was about to sleep when Clover came. She faces me, crying for the first time. I noticed that she had been drinking but not that drunk. "I love you so much, Agatha. I'm sorry, okay. I won't do anything to make you upset again. But please don't leave me. I can't.." I just hugged her. When she calmed down, she moved to face me again, throwing a forced smile at me. "I watched Lexie's mall tour. You did go to show your support. That's good for your upcoming movie together.." Clover said, followed by smiling again. "Hmmm. When are you going to shoot again? Can I come?!" She asked in a seemingly sad voice. I just nodded in agreement. "You can come anytime...just say so," I explained then she snuggled me into a hug. I frowned as there seemed to be something strange about her. "Have you had dinner yet? Do you want to eat?!" I asked as Clover sat on the couch. I just looked at her while standing in front of her. She shook her head for a few moments. "I haven't eaten since yesterday.." He
After a tiring day, my back directly collapsed on my soft bed when I got home. I let out a deep sigh as my hands were spread, and I just stared at the ceiling. I reflect on the scenes of Lexie singing on stage. She is still excellent, nothing has changed, and she is even more attractive. A thought came back from the dead. I was about to try to pursue her to take back all my hurtful words, but I didn't have the chance to do so. Lexie changed her number and her place. I have lost contact with her. That's when I thought that's maybe for the best because I didn't deserve her. It's all from the past now. What I heard from Yuri suddenly came to my mind. Does Lexie need to use me as an excuse for that, Orio? Does she have to lie for something else? I shake my head at that idea. She made me believe in something that I felt was true. For a moment, I deemed sorry for her, thinking I'd become so cruel to her and didn't at least stand for her feelings about me. Perhaps this is all pla
A sudden doorbell cut my thoughts. Perhaps Clover now realizes what she is doing behind my back. Good for her because I don't give a shit. I may love her, but that's not enough reason not to put an end to everything if she messes up. She knows me better than anyone. I don't tolerate stupid things. As I opened the door, my eyes narrowed. "And who are you?!" Suddenly I speak up. "Can I come in?!" I hissed at his apparent rudeness from there. "Didn't you hear me first? I said, who are you.." Emphasizing my last statement and throwing him a killer look, he just grinned, making me revolt. "Oh, my bad.. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Facundo Monte Mayor, manager of Lexie Lewis." My mouth hangs open. So this is the asshole they were talking about. Without my permission yet, he welcomes himself to come in. I gaped in disbelief. Doubtless, he's indeed a pain-in-the-ass kind of person. "Today is Lexie Mall tour.. and I have a favor to ask, but of course, if you would not mind.
Orio suddenly came to the set. He was probably looking for Lexie, but Yuri saw him first. "You are looking for Lexie?" He turned to where the voice came from. He just nodded in response. "I don't think this is the right time for you to talk..." Yuri said. "Did her manager ban her? I know Yuri. That Facundo brought nothing good between Lexie and me because our tandem before didn't go well.""Hey.. Don't be like that. He's just avoiding more issues to come." "I don't see any problem if all I wanna is to apologize to Lexie. That's all I've got, Yuri, so if you could please help me.""You know, Lexie. She will talk when she's ready, Orio, but for now, it's better to cool down the issues first. Then come what may, you can talk to her again." "It's fine, Yuri..." Suddenly Lexie showed up with a flat face. "What you have to say, Orio?" She asked in a calm tone. Yuri left, giving them the privacy they needed. Hesitantly Orio tried to open his mouth, gulping, collecting all his courage to
After a run-off at the mouth, Clover finally forgave me. Still, I hadn't mentioned to her about a producer who offered me to be part of the main cast of the movie that he would produce. I know Clover will support me, but Lexie is the one I'll be paired off with within the said movie. I should ask for her opinion as my girlfriend after what happened. Maybe now she wants me to stay away from Lexie. That's understandable, but if I were asked and got to decide, I would not think twice about going for it. An opportunity like this is once in a lifetime, like in a fairytale I used to read in my childhood days. But to my surprise, she agreed. "I can turn it down, Clover. Besides, I'm a writer, not an actress.." "What the hell are you talking about? Of course not! Why would I deprive you of this turning point in your career? Yeah, at first, I was hurt when you lied or didn't tell me about Lexie, but that's it. All are well now. As you said, that's already in the past, and you have nothi
The following day, Lexie, in her room, wearing her lingerie with her tied-up messy hair, was still preoccupied with what happened the other day."What got into your head, Lexie, and you let that happen? People started taking photos and videos of you. Everything can be discussed in private. You are fully aware of that.." Her manager reprimanded her the very moment it entered her bedroom, raising an eyebrow with a frowning forehead when they met, talking about her viral video. "Don't know how to knock first? So early in the morning for this nagging.." She uttered with irritation visible on her face. Her intense exchange of words with Orio, confessing her feelings about Agatha, is spreading and getting attention on social media so fast. Lexie, for the first time, didn't seem to regret what she did and was proud of herself. She still couldn't believe it after she let go of her long-standing feelings for Agatha, along with the censored eyes around them."But anyway... What else could w
"Isn't that Agatha Nguyen? The famous novel writer who acted like a hero?!" Orio exclaimed.Orio is her long-time suitor and co-actor that she had worked on before in one of her movies. "How did you know her by face?!" Figuring out, she asked. "I saw her one time on some vlog, I guess. She had a meet and greet with her loyal readers. Some of them recorded it. That's how I knew her." Orio explained, peeking at Agatha not far away. "Do you wanna join them?!" Instantly, Lexie opposes his suggestion. "Why not? I heard you guys will soon have a project together. Isn't it?" "It's not confirmed yet though my manager talks about it earlier on the phone. But she said she will call me if there's any update." "So you are too looking forward to working with her, though." Orio seems to be apprehensive. "I'm not the one to decide that. It's always my manager. You sound not okay with it.. What's the matter?" "First time, if ever. You are going to be partnered with a girl, Lexie. Aren't you a
Agatha is at present in bed next to her girlfriend, who is lying on her chest and hugging her. "Gossip has wings. I perceived what happened on the set the other day. I'm so proud of you, pochi.. You save my idol from an impending audacious act." "Uncertainty. The bastard already acquired what he wanted. But I will guarantee it won't fall out again. I'm gonna expose him and ravage his career in my power." "That's a relief, then. My beloved girlfriend is protecting my idol, Lexie. That's awesome!" The girl exclaimed. Meanwhile, Agatha couldn't get out of her mind what had occurred. How many times has Lexie experienced that? To imagine it, she is squirming out in annoyance. Her blood seems to be boiling, and she wants to kick someone's ass at that very moment. And Lexie, on the other side of the world, was having a deep thought while sitting on the veranda, handling her glass of wine sipping on it as she stared into the void. Return to her memories of her various bad experiences th
